my signs

"life is just overwhelming at times,

and we are all standing on a corner

with a sign in our hands needing something"

~debi smith kaich jones~

I need my son to come home. He needs to be with his wife, 2 dogs, favorite recliner and Sunday afternoon football. I need to be able to call him for no reason other than to hear his smile on the phone and talk about nice things. I need to remove the sign in my window.

I need a long soak

this 52 year old body needs a long walk on the beach and a sunburn!

I am overwhelmed these days, feeling anxious about my sons deployment, the hard-hat zone my home has become and my longing for the Florida Beach.

I am not really complaining about my needs/wants....just tossing them into the winds of blogosphere so maybe my anxiety will fade.

I seriously have so much to be grateful for... health, happiness, the undying love and devotion of my lifemate Matt, good friends, dependable cars, a strong daughter-in-law, a great camera and a decent bottle of wine. In the meantime, my son works in Kuwait, in Army Hell. My bathtub is in storage, and I will return to Florida for Thanksgiving!

Don't forget to be grateful for the beautiful 52 year body:) hang in there consider some of theses things/thoughts tossed my way and I put them on my hand and wished and then blew them off on their way.

Funny how much we have to be grateful for, but we all still have needs. I believe, as you said, that tossing those words out into the Universe may help. Here's to all your needs being met. And soon. And to sunburns and long baths and sons back home. Oh. And to looking that fabulous at any age! Yeah, baby!

O Deb! I've been in your shoes, my oldest son was in the Army in Korea 9/11/01! YOU won't be COMPLETELY YOU til your boy is back in the USA!!! I am sending YOU and YOURS Love and prayers!! I wish I could go with YOU and Rebecca! I will be there in spirit, when a donkey bleats out an extra melodious chord, think of me! hehe
